Sleeping Beauty would definitely wear this gown

Once you've put Disney princess on your CV, it must be hard to let go of such a glorious role, so no wonder Elle Fanning is still dressing like she's stepped out of a fairytale. She's back doing the promotional rounds for the Japan premiere of Maleficent, and went for a dose of method acting in this lacy, floor-length dress.

With billowing sleeves in an off-white hue, this Alexander McQueen gown is so Sleeping Beauty, but was the statement-making dress a whimsical step too far? We vote no, and wish more actors would fully embrace their fictional roles; after all, if Elle hadn't, we wouldn't have seen those Sleeping Beauty heels.
